De-jo

Any of you guys getting sleeved in December? I was offered October 16th but due to my upcoming wedding and school and work and blah-blah-blah I had to wait till December. Any one else out there ready to role in December??? My preop diet ( 2 weeks liquid) starts Nov.25th so no turkey for me. I've already informed family I will be a no show this Thanksgiving, so worth it though. I decided to have a pre-Thanksgiving the Saturday before.

Elle brand from Khols....my fav!

Well I have officially 55 days till I'm sleeved. I'm hoping it will fly by!!! I can't believe it's almost here!

GREAT idea!

Thank you jashantee. I think so too.

i know the feeling...december 9th can't get here any faster. I'm getting married october 26th and really tried to have my surgery over the summer but it didn't work out that way...a little dissapointed that my wedding pics will be of the old me.

I'll be on the two week deal...unlimited liquids but at least 60-80 grams of protein.

Personally I can't think of any...but bring a note book with you. Start jotting things down that come to mind so when you meet with him you'll have it in front of you.Congrats btw!!!

YaY!!!!

Not trying to be rude but then why are you on this forum? Weight loss is not ALL about control. I think it's a little insulting to make it seem like those of us who have decided to go this route are not in control. I think the total opposite. I speak for myself but if weight loss was ALL about control and just putting the fork down then wouldn't life be so much easier. This goes without saying but obesity is a combination of things for different people. I think most people who have decided to go this route have exhausted other means. I know I have. So excuse me if I seem like I'm cherry picking but I find it counter productive for others for you to be on this site and comment on a thread about it being a control issue. In order to have this procedure we have all had to make sure this is the right thing for us. If it isn't for you that's fine...I'm glad in your case, you figured it out before you did it. If you are able to lose weight on you own BIG props too you, please don't let me knock wind out of your sails. However, don't take your victory and turn it around to make others feel like they are failing for their choices.

Well i finally met with the surgeon today and luckily I've had all my testing with the exception of blood,chest xray and NUT consult. So in a perfect world I would be planning my surgery date....BUT.....due to a few meds I take daily( for anxiety and depression) I may be held up another three months. It seems that since I can't swallow pills post surgery I will have to crush my meds. If my meds can't be crushed then I have to try alternative meds that can be crushed. However, I would have to stay on these "new" crushable meds for 3 months to make sure they work before the surgeon will give me the green light. Anyone have this issue?

I have Humana...and as far as the surgeon I'm using says that I can use my sleep ap test and endo testing, as well as the others. I've had a lot of health issues related to my gall bladder that sent me in all different directions of testing in the last few months. I guess it depends on the doc and the ins.

Update....I went to the seminar and spoke with the surgeon after..... and I've had a lot of the pre op testing in the last year due to other issues. He said they can still be used since they were done with in the last twelve months...so yay! I work for the hospital that I'm having it done at so I know my insurance should be easy to deal with. My first appt is June 11th. Hope it won't take too much time. I'm very excited and ready to get the surgery.

Thanks for the prompt replies guys!

Insurance.....I'm getting married in October so I really want it a few months before or after just not in September or October obviously lol

Hello, I'm new here and and a million questions. First off.....How long did the process take for everyone. I am going to a seminar which is the first step before my consult. the office tells me it's a 2 to 2 1/2 month wait time from seminar to surg. She says due to the testing and prep.
